Hi Sara,
You can absolutely run the DIAdem exe automatically from Windows, for example, as a startup executable, Windows Scheduled Task, or batch file.
Using DIAdem, if you want to automatically run a SCRIPT when the application opens, use the Start Script option under Settings » Options » General » Start Script.
If you want your users not to see DIAdem executing, there are a couple of approaches you could take, depending on your desired behavior and comfort with programming.  For example, you could:
Call DIAdem programmatically using ActiveX from another language like LabVIEW and choose to hide the environment when running, or
Have DIAdem SCRIPT run a SUD dialog that masks the DIAdem screen and reports a simpler version of information updates to your user, or
Use DIAdem's customization abilities to programmatically hide all Panels and Toolbars, or
Use your script to programmatically switch the screen mode in DIAdem (try pressing Ctrl+U interactively!) while your script is executing.
Good luck!
